Editing and Marketing

As John puts the finishing touches on the editing of his movie, a nagging curiosity tugged at his mind. He recalled hearing faint notification sounds while engrossed in his work. With a sense of anticipation, he directed his attention towards his system, where a multitude of notifications awaited him.

His gaze fixated on the bell icon, revealing a cascade of messages. Each notification held its own reward, symbolizing milestones achieved during the creation of his film. "Filmed first movie: You are rewarded with 10 coins," one notification read. Another proclaimed, "You have used a skill for the first time: You are rewarded with x2 exp for editing." The list continued, highlighting his achievements, including "You have edited your first movie: You are rewarded with 500 exp for editing" and "Multiplier activated: You have received 1000 exp for editing."

Excitement surged within John as he absorbed the rewards and experienced a sense of growth. His editing skill had reached a new level, earning him an additional 10 coins. The notifications reminded him of the untapped potential within his skill set and fueled his determination to leverage his newfound abilities.

In the midst of his realization, John's attention turned to the status window. It had remained unchecked, overlooked in the hope he had received to achieve his dream. As he perused his skill list, his eyes landed on a skill that caught his interest: Advanced marketing a skill learned in his past life. It became clear to him that the time had come to promote and sell his creation, to introduce the world to the Blair Witch Project.

A strategic thought formed in John's mind. He understood that to create a mystique around his movie, he needed the actors to disappear, to become enigmatic figures associated solely with their roles. Slowly, he reached for the knife lying on the table, an instrument he intended to wield in the service of his marketing vision.
